A new understanding of mobility.

An increasing number of voices are arguing that mobility is a fundamental right. We at Kapsch agree. That is why we have made it our mission to support road users with intelligent mobility solutions that can help them reach their destination comfortably, safely, quickly, and efficiently while using minimum resources.

If this fundamental right is to continue for the rapidly growing number of people on this Earth, we will also need a new understanding of mobility. This can no longer involve everyone driving their own private vehicle. On the contrary, mobility must come to be seen as a service. The idea of “mobility as a service” implies an optimal interplay between a variety of transportation modes, including private cars, public transportation, and bicycle rentals. This covers the range from Park & Ride and route planning that incorporates the fastest and most economical means of transportation all the way to integrated reservation and payment systems for the transportation service, all designed to get people from point A to point B as quickly and comfortably as possible.
